2007 BMW X5 SE 7S 3.0D Auto 3.0L Heavy oil · N99 GLS

The vehicle's current roadworthiness is assessed as failing, with the most recent MOT test conducted in October 2025 at 194,630 miles, which resulted in a failure. This indicates that the vehicle has not been tested in over a decade and requires immediate professional assessment. The maintenance history shows a distinct gap between the most recent test in October 2025 and the previous passing test in April 2024, suggesting that the car was likely driven for over a year without any maintenance performed, a critical indicator of potential wear. The mileage accumulation across the test dates reveals a pattern of rapid growth, with the vehicle accumulating approximately 10,244 miles annually. This consistent annual increase implies that the owner has not taken reasonable steps to maintain the vehicle's mechanical integrity. The gap between the October 2025 test and the April 2024 test, despite the significant time elapsed, suggests that the car was driven for over a year without any recorded maintenance, which is a major red flag for structural risks. A buyer must inspect the vehicle in person to evaluate the condition of the suspension, brakes, and drivetrain components. The MOT record highlights binding rear brakes, which is a serious structural risk that requires immediate attention due to the high probability of failure. The history also flags corrosion on the exhaust and exhaust emissions, indicating that the car has not been serviced for a long period. The vehicle's condition is currently in a state of disrepair, with no evidence of ongoing wear that would allow it to be driven under normal circumstances, necessitating a full inspection by a qualified mechanic.
